1. Introduction
Struck by falling objects (SBFO) is statistically the second most common cause of workplace
fatalities in Singapore. Furthermore, SBFO is a common hazard across all industry sectors and
had resulted in many cases of workplace injury. Members of the public may also be at risk from
SBFO if workplace safety is not managed well.
Management has a key role in preventing SBFO incidents from occurring, and must take
the lead in Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) efforts. This is important for developing
a good safety culture where each individual takes personal responsibility for safety and
health at the workplace.
This set of guidelines focuses on the dangers of items that fall from height. Falling objects can
strike persons on the head and the resultant injuries can be fatal. Therefore, it is imperative that
reasonably practicable efforts are taken to prevent objects from falling onto persons. Protection
provided by personal protective equipment (PPE), such as helmets, may sometimes be unable
to effectively safeguard a person who is struck by falling objects.
These guidelines are intended to provide information and guidance on situations where SBFO
is a hazard and the preventive measures that can be taken to safeguard people who work on
the site, visitors to the site and members of the public.

2. Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment/ Risk ManagementThe risk assessment process helps to identify and prevent hazards at the workplace. It also
helps in the implementation of effective risk control measures before risks escalate into
accidents and injuries.
Under the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations, every workplace, including factories, should
conduct risk assessments for all routine and non-routine works.
It is the process of: Identifying and analysing safety and health hazards associated with work;
Assessing the risks involved; and
Prioritising measures to control the hazards and reduce the risks.
Before conducting risk assessment, adequate preparation must be done. A risk assessment
team should be formed, preferably consisting of personnel from various levels in the work
activity. Relevant information should be collated to facilitate better understanding of the
work process.
After completing the preparation work, workplace risks can then be assessed in three simple steps.
STEP 1: Hazard IdentificationHazard identification involves identifying hazards associated with the activity of each process
and potential accidents or ill health that could result from these hazards. It also identifies the
person(s) who may be at risk as a result of being exposed to these hazards.
STEP 2: Risk EvaluationRisk evaluation is the process of estimating the risk levels of the hazards and their acceptability.
This is used as a base for prioritising actions to control the hazards to minimise safety and
health risks.
Risk evaluation is made up of two parts:
Estimating the severity of the hazard; and
Estimating the likelihood of the incident or ill-health occurring with the existing risk
controls.
STEP 3: Risk ControlBased on the risk evaluation in STEP 2, risk controls should be selected to reduce or confine the
identified risk to an acceptable level.

These risk controls must be effective yet practicable. To control hazards and reduce risks, the
control measures below should be considered in the following order:
Elimination;
Substitution;
Engineering controls;
Administrative controls; and
PPE.
See Page 8 for a Sample Risk Assessment. For more information, please refer to Guidelines on
Risk Assessment at www.mom.gov.sg
Risk assessment, when carried out appropriately, would allow a better understanding of
risks at the workplace and their control measures. It is a key component of risk management.
Besides risk assessment, good risk management also consists of other components such as
communication, record keeping, and implementation and review. Together, they form the risk
management process captured in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Flow chart of the risk management process.

6/265
In considering each measure in the Hierarchy of Control (Figure 2), the following elements of
what is reasonably practicable must be considered:
The likelihood of a hazard or risk occurring (i.e., the probability of a person being exposed
to harm);
The degree of harm if the hazard or risk occurs (i.e., the potential seriousness of injury or
harm);
The persons degree of understanding on the hazard or risk, and any possible ways of
eliminating or reducing the hazard or risk; and
The availability and suitability of ways to eliminate or reduce the hazard or risk.
Control measures are not usually mutually exclusive. It may be necessary to use more than
one of these measures to reduce a risk to its lowest possible level when no single measure is
sufficient on its own. For example, engineering controls can be implemented together with
administrative controls like training and safe work procedures.
3. Hierarchy of Control
Figure 2: Hierarchy of Control.
The selection of control measures for hazards and reduction of risks can be accomplished by
following the Hierarchy of Control (see Figure 2).

SubstitutionThis involves replacing a hazard with one that presents a lower risk.
It is possible to consider the usage of prefabricated or precast materials that can be assembled
easily. With this approach, prefabricated components such as precast faade components are
produced in the factory which has a safe and cleaner working environment, before they are
delivered and assembled on site. This minimises the time workers need to conduct work at
height which, in turn, minimises the risks of falling objects and being struck by falling objects.
This is in contrast to the conventional way of using in situ casting that require workers to workat height for extended periods of time for the messy formwork erection, rebar installation,
concreting and plastering works.
Engineering ControlsEngineering controls are physical means that limit the hazard. These include structural changes
to the work environment or work processes by erecting a barrier to interrupt the transmission
path between the worker and the hazard.
By intercepting the path of falling objects, engineering controls such as safety nets and catch
platforms prevent objects from striking persons below. However, they must be of sufficient
strength to withstand the force generated by the falling object.
Administrative ControlsThese reduce or eliminate exposure to a hazard by adherence to procedures or instructions.
Documentation should emphasise all the steps to be taken and the controls to be used in
carrying out the activity safely.
After risk assessment has been carried out, Safe Work Procedures (SWPs) should be implemented
to manage safety and health risks. SWPs should include emergency plans in addition to safetyprecautions. It should also reiterate the importance of proper usage of PPE.
EliminationElimination of hazards refers to the total removal of the
hazards and hence effectively eliminating the possible
occurrence of incidents and ill health. This would be
the permanent solution and should be attempted in
the first instance. When a hazard is eliminated, the
associated risks cease to exist as a result.
For example, air conditioner compressors can be
installed near ground level, where possible. This
eliminates the need to work from height, and in doing
so, eliminates the risk of falls from height and being
struck by fallen tools or even the compressor itself.
Maintenance work will also benefit from this, in addition
to the initial installation work.
Figure 3: Air-conditioningcompressor units installed at groundlevel eliminates the need for work atheight and the risk of being struck byfalling objects.

Figure 4: Signs can be used to warnpersons at work if there is a riskof falling objects and that safetyhelmets are needed.
Figure 5: If safety helmets cannotprovide enough protection, considerprohibiting access to the area. A noentry sign can accompany this signto ensure nobody enters the area.
SWPs and good planning can mitigate risks of potential SBFO incidents. However, supervision
and enforcement would be needed to ensure the effectiveness of administrative control
measures. Administrative controls can also include signs and warnings to inform or remind workers.
Training can include methods and aspects, such as good housekeeping practices andorganisation and storage of materials, that can help prevent falling objects.
PPEThe proper use of PPE can help to keep workers safe at work. However, PPE should only be used
in addition to other forms of control measures (e.g., engineering control measures) or when
these other measures are not feasible or practical.
When used in isolation, PPE can only provide a marginal degree of protection, usually only
adequate for protection against light falling objects. However, PPE can be used as a supplementto other risk control methods, where they can provide an additional layer of protection.
Residual RisksResidual risks are the remaining risks following the implementation of risk controls. The risk
assessment team should ensure that residual risks are acceptable and manageable.

Storage of loose items on racks or shelves can be hazardous. The loose items may be dislodged
during the intentional removal or from unintentional bumping against the racks or shelves.
The safe maximum load of shelving or racks should be strictly adhered to at all times.
Storage of heavier items on lower racks of shelvesFor storage racks or shelves, heavier items should be placed lower down and lighter objects can
be placed on the higher levels. This will give additional stability to the rack, and reduce the risk
of toppling racks. Additionally, lighter objects pose a potentially lower chance of severe head
injuries in the event that items stored on higher levels get displaced from position.
Securing items for safe storageMethods of securing goods/ items, to keep them in
place, during storage:
Netting
Restraining bars
Small, loose items can be tied together, wrapped or
kept in containers to prevent unwanted movement and
falling.
Provision for safe storage of irregularly shaped items
should be provided.
Boxes and bags can help prevent unwanted movement
of rounded or spherical items.
5. Storage of Items

6. Working at Height
In addition to falls from height, work activities carried out at height can also result in dropped
objects or materials.
Prevention of objects falling through openings onelevated work platformsWhen work is carried out on elevated work platforms (e.g., scaffolds), measures must be taken
to ensure the safety of workers below. Should there be a risk that items may fall (e.g., over
toe-boards), panelling can be installed to prevent the fall of such items.
Overlay/ screening netsSuch nets are required by legislation [Factories
(Scaffolds) Regulations] to be used to envelop scaffolds
that are erected on the outside of a building. They will
form a preventive layer to guard against the dislodging
of equipment or materials.
Safety netsSafety nets set up under elevated work areas can
help prevent tools and materials from hitting workers
who are below the work area should there be any
accidental dislodging.
Catch platformsA catch platform is a temporary structure located below
a work area, meant to catch any fallen materials ortools. The platform must be constructed with sufficient
strength, designed to withstand the maximum
expected impact. The width of the platforms must also
be large enough to effectively intercept the trajectory
of falling items.
Figure 8: Overlay nets can preventlight objects from being accidentallythrown from the interior of thebuilding.
8/12/2019 WSH Guidelines Safeguarding Against Falling Objects
13/2612
Toe-boards for scaffolds andwork platforms
Toe-boards are installed on all sides of the work platforms
on the scaffolds, with the main purpose of preventing
materials or tools on the surface of the platform from
being unintentionally knocked off. Toe-boards are
required under the Factories (Scaffolds) Regulations to
be of good construction, sound material and adequate
strength to withstand the impact during the course
of work, with a minimal height of 90 mm. Refer to the
Factories (Scaffolds) Regulations for more details on
requirements for toe-boards.
Controlled lowering of materials
or tools, as opposed to throwingControlled lowering of materials or tools is one of the
more preferable methods of removing items or tools
from elevations. It reduces the chances of worker or the
general public been exposed to the hazard of being
struck by objects being thrown about. Care must be
taken to ensure that the load is secure and will not drop
while it is being lowered.
Use of waste disposal/ debrischutesEnclosed chutes can be used for the safe removal of
unwanted materials quickly. The chute keeps debris
within itself, preventing materials that are dropped from
falling onto people.
Figure 9: Toe-boards prevent itemsfrom falling off the surface of the
platform of the scaffold.
Figure 10: Waste disposal/ debrischutes prevent materials from
accidentally falling onto people.
8/12/2019 WSH Guidelines Safeguarding Against Falling Objects
14/2613
Tethers/ Tie-downs for toolsTethers and tie-downs such as lanyards, straps, and
slings can help prevent tools from being dropped should
the worker drop the tools during transportation, lose his
grip while using them or accidentally leave the tools
behind after work. The tether should be secured and bemade of a sufficiently durable material. If possible, such
tethers should be specifically designed instead of being
added onto existing tools so as to prevent any accidental
detachment of the tethered tool and preserve the
functionality of the tools.
Tool bags/ belts/ pouchesUsing a bag, belt or pouch to hold tools can help prevent
the accidental drop of tools or small materials duringclimbing or moving. This also helps prevent the worker
from falling from height, as he can maintain three points
of contact and have a better hold on the ladder.
Figure 11: Tools tethered to the userby means of a lanyard can preventthem from falling and strikingpersons below. It also prevents themfrom being left behind accidentallyafter work.
Figure 12: Using a tool bag, beltor pouch leaves the hands free forclimbing the ladders. The workercan maintain three points of contactas well.

7. Safe Transfer of Materials or Goods
Activities involving the transfer or movement of materials can result in serious injury if not
managed properly. For example, the load may be dislodged after striking an obstacle and fall
onto persons nearby. Forklifts and overhead travelling cranes are two commonly used types of
equipment for the transfer of materials.
ClearanceEnsure that personnel are kept away from the path of movement before starting the transfer.
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance space around and above the intended path so that the
materials do not strike nearby objects, structures or obstacles.
Stability of the loadLoads should be made as stable as possible before they
are lifted and moved. This is to prevent any tipping or
swinging of the load during transit. If necessary, they
may also be secured to increase stability.
Hazards posed by the loadThe nature of the load may pose hazards to persons
within or around the work area. Loads that are overly
bulky, very long, irregularly shaped or have off-centre
centres-of-gravity need special consideration. The use
of specialised attachments can allow forklifts to carry
such loads safely. However, the attachments may
reduce the carrying capacity or safe working load of
the forklift, due to the shift in the centre-of-gravity
of the entire forklift. Consult the manufacturer of the
attachments to determine the required adjustments insafe working load.
General safety for travelling equipmentGeneral safe work practices, such as only allowing trained and authorised operators to operate
such equipment, keeping within the speed limit and the safe working load of the equipment
are to be followed at all times. For more information on safe work practices for forklifts,
travelling cranes, managing workplace traffic and so on, refer to the Workplace Safety and
Health Guidelines on Workplace Traffic Safety Management on www.wshc.sg

Securing of items during installationFor items that are moved into position by machinery for installation work, it is vital to ensure
that the item is installed securely to the structure before disengaging the machinery or any
slings or brackets that are holding the item in place.

8. Lifting
Lifting operations, if not managed properly, can result in heavy loads falling onto persons
below. This is potentially the most severe type of SBFO due to the weight (e.g., I-beams) and/or
quantities (e.g., bricks or tiles) of the dropped objects.
Lifting operations
No entry areas
Figure 14: Signs can be used to warn persons of lifting works in progress, andprevent accidental entry.
Designate no-entry areas during lifting operations. This should be communicated to affected
parties (e.g., those who are expected to be nearby). Supplement with barricades and signs or
even sentries to prevent access into potential areas of impact.
Scheduling
If possible, consider conducting lifting operations during times where fewer people are
expected to be present.
SWPs
Never lift, lower or swing a load over people. Be aware that the momentum of a load that
is swung may cause it to travel outward from the centre of the swinging arc. Additionally,ensure that loads are secured and balanced before hoisting commences.
NO ENTRYNO ENTRYWARNING
Lifting in progress
8/12/2019 WSH Guidelines Safeguarding Against Falling Objects
18/2617
Lifting plan (includes SWP)
Communication (lifting operations)
Engage only trained personnel in the lifting operation. Maintain clear and concise
coordination between machine operator and co-workers.
Designation of no entry areas
This is to prevent unauthorised personnel from getting near or entering the danger area
when the lifting operations are in progress.
Maintenance for lifting appliance/ machine/ gearTo ensure serviceability and functionality of lifting appliance/ machine/ gear, scheduling
routine repairs, maintenance work and inspection is essential. This would aid in the monitoring
and prevention of premature equipment failure, thereby avoiding unnecessary injuries or
accident and production downtime.
For more information on safety during lifting operations, refer to the Technical Advisory for Safe
Operation of Lifting Equipment on www.wshc.sg The following Singapore Standards can be
consulted for specific information for lifting operations:
SS 536 : 2008 Code of practice for the safe use of mobile cranes
SS 497 : 2002 Design, safe use and maintenance of overhead traveling cranes

9. General Safety Practices
Some good practices that can help reduce the risk of being SBFO are applicable in most
situations. Good practices highlighted in previous portions of this guide can also pertain to
general situations. For example, imposing no-entry areas with cordons or barricades and the
use of signs can keep people from entering areas where SBFO may occur.
Overhead protection for pedestriansOverhead protection structures (e.g., shelters) must
meet certain standards. They should provide collective
protection to all who are under it. Overhead protectionshould be structurally strong to prevent collapse or
penetration due to objects that may fall onto them. Such
structures can be erected to protect persons entering or
leaving buildings that are under construction.
Overhead protection for machinesSome work activities can expose operators of industrial
vehicles to the risk of being SBFO. This is especially so
for vehicles used in earth moving or excavation works.Another example would be operators of vehicles involved
in the felling of trees or the pruning of large branches
from trees. Below are some examples of international
standards which stipulate the requirements for such
overhead protection:
AS 2294.1-1997 Earth-moving machinery Protective
structures General
ISO 8083:2006 Machinery for forestry Falling-object
protective structures (FOPS) Laboratory tests andperformance requirements

20/2619
Rusting or corrosion of metalobjectsMetal objects that are installed at high altitudes should
be periodically examined. Corrosion or rusting can
result in structural weaknesses which can cause objects
to fall without warning. Examples of such objects
include bolts and nuts, hanging light fixtures.
Additionally, secondary retention (e.g., using wires,
straps, chains or netting of sufficient strength, to
provide a means of preventing an object from falling
when it becomes detached) can help protect persons
from being struck by falling objects.
Good housekeepingKeep unused tools and materials in their respective
toolbox or place. This prevents workers working nearby
the overhead structure from accidentally kicking,
throwing or sweeping the tools/ materials off. These
tools/ materials may fall onto workers below.
Storage of materials or equipment should be done
away from working edges. Loose items, such as mortar,
scattered masonry, and all other materials and debrisshould be kept clear of the working area through removal
at regular intervals.
No kicking, throwing or pushingany object off edgesWorkers should be instructed never to kick, throw or
push unwanted materials or items off edges. While signs
can serve as a reminder to workers, supervision would
be required to ensure that such unsafe practices are not
carried out.
TrainingSafety training for workers can include topics related to prevention of and protection from
falling objects, for example:
Nature of hazards relating to falling objects in the work area;
The meaning/ reason behind no entry zones or hard hat zones
How they may contribute to prevent SBFO incidents, for example:
- Clearing away debris
Figure 16: Secondary retentioncan prevent hanging objects from
striking persons below if they fall.
Figure 17: Unsecured materialsplaced near edges may be knockedover accidentally.
8/12/2019 WSH Guidelines Safeguarding Against Falling Objects
21/2620
- Keeping tools in designated areas, away from edges
- Not dropping or kicking unwanted items over the edge
Proper fitting and wearing of PPEPPE that is used by workers to carry out work at height must be worn and fitted properly. PPE
that is ill-fitting or not worn properly may drop off, and pose an SBFO risk to workers below.
Safety helmetSafety helmets provide some protection for the headit will protect the wearer against small,
light objects, such as hand tools. It is insufficient to protect the wearer against heavier objects
therefore, other methods of prevention and protection are needed. Helmets should conform
to Singapore Standards SS 98 : 2005 Specification for Industrial safety helmets. Helmets are
also potential falling objects, hence chin straps are highly recommended for helmets worn for
work at height.
Safety shoes/ bootsSafety shoes and boots provide limited protection for
the feet against light objects dropped such as small tools
or materials like nuts and bolts.
Provision of PPE for visitorsVisitors to areas where SBFO may occur should be
provided with the appropriate PPE.
PPE that limit visionSome PPE such as welding helmets or goggles limit a
wearers vision. As such, more attention or supervision
may be required in areas where such PPE are used. The
hampered vision may result in the worker being less
able to spot tools or debris on the ground, or hazards
above him.
Figure 19: Consideration needs to bemade for workers who are requiredto perform work using PPE that canobstruct or hamper their vision.
Figure 18: Safety shoes and bootsprovide limited protection for thefeet from light falling objects.
